With interest in IoT growing, we observe discussions of IoT developers in online forums like Stack Overflow (SO).
SO is a large online community where millions of developers ask and
answer questions. To date, there are
around 120 million posts and 12 million registered users on SO [1]}.
Previously, several research has been conducted to
analyze SO posts, e.g., to analyze discussions on big
data [2]}, concurrency [3]},
programming issues [4]}, blockchain
development [5]}, microservices [6]}, and
security [7]}. However, we are aware of no
research that analyzed IoT security-related discussions on SO, although such insight can complement existing IoT literature, which so far has mainly used surveys
to understand the issues and needs of IoT practitioners [8]}, [9]}, [10]}.
